Armadillos / Alebrijes style Animals are another facet of my work specially armadillos, that inspire people to connect with nature and reflect my passion for nature. The inspiration of these colorful pieces are the Mexican handcrafts: Alebrijes Alebrijes are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures, carved in copal wood; from Oaxaca, Mexico. Same as my ceramic pieces there are no two alebrijes exactly alike.
